Review of San Diego, California


Give your hard earned income to the entitled
Star Rating - 1/11/2020
Lived here on and off since joining the Navy in 1984. Was once the hidden jewel for weather and cost of living and overall quality of life. Weather stayed, Cost of living moved and quaility of life was robbed by the State govt. and overpopulation. Hearing words like "Best non judgementalplace " is a catch word for steal and take from you and give to those who will not work or do not want to work. ANd do not speak up about it or your will be vilified. The State or local govt. will just plain steal it. more and more Taxes, Meth, fentynal and over the border drug trade, accepted crime, outrageous real estate increases, and out of control liberalism has turned this once awesome S.W. enclave into another one of the worst places to live in California!
I retired from the Mil. here and will retire form a fed. govt job here in 2 years and will promptly leave this BROKEN state and sadly, Broken City. Example. Two stolen cars, one home burglary, children assaulted by a homeless all while residing in Northpark and Bankers Hill.
My 2bd 1200sq ft. Condo I bought for 155K is now worth $455K. Avg. house cost is $645K. You have been warned. WOKE.

Your so right! This area has gone down hill with the liberal government heavy hand! It is destroying the "hidden jewel" of the country! Getting ready to get out too! Very sad! :(
